[Oblivious. Utterly oblivious, that's him. Or maybe he's doing it on purpose...? He wouldn't do that, right?

At least he keeps his hands to himself and his eyes on the road out the window for the time being, sparing Kaga the need to look into them. Unless she just wants to, of course. Nothing he can do about that if she opts to.]

You're over-estimating Hiyori's jealous side. She's more likely to beat me up for being a hopeless idiot than one of her friends.

[He glances back to her with a lopsided smile that's tinged with something that might be sympathy or pity.]

Can't help it. You're my friend. Even if fighting might get you out of your rut for a time, what're you gonna do afterwards? You can't preoccupy yourself all the time.
